  title: Missing blob fail-closed behavior
  statement: If a required blob is missing locally and no approved retrieval path
    exists, Benac shall fail loudly before package execution or evidence
    interpretation.
  rationale: Metadata alone is not enough to run code or verify evidence.
  verification: Metadata-only import cannot execute package until artifacts are
    retrieved and verified.
  testable: true
